We are renovating about 25,000 s.f. on the 6th floor of a 9 story 1,000,000+s.f. hospital. Obviously we are not going to model the whole facility, we will be modeling the project area + a bit more if needed. My question is about the levels. What is everyone else doing? Would you place all the levels in the model and draw up on the 6th level, even thou you are only modeling the project area, or would you just draw the project area on the default level @ 0' and just rename it to be the 6th floor level?

Thanks, Al

It depends on what you are going to be doing for schedules.  In my opinion I would draw the levels and create the floor plan where it is in reality.

You only need one level and maybe the one above.   If you need more afterwards, you can add them downward.   The project location could be set anywhere you want.
